Financial experts in the region

On Tuesday I had an opportunity to meet Aieti before going to the mountains on holiday. Aieti is CEO of the fastest growing financial services company providing things like micro loans, leasing, company research data, electronic banking, corporate finance. I met Aieti last year for the first time. He struck me as someone who could be successful anywhere abroad but he loves his country and engages in its reconstruction. He would be an important partner in identifying projects with a social agenda (he mentioned a few current examples in our conversation) and in the relationship with the management of a company especially when a strategic portion of funding is provided. Aieti is a key partner to the newly launched Caucasus fund by GML International, a London based firm (who's director I also know). We spent the evening having dinner together with my family in the old capital Mtskheta and then went to see one of the castles where Malkhaz has a team of students excavating.
